Jay Electronica Disses Solar
Aug 11th
Here is a clip of Jay Electronica dissing MC Solar for tainting the Gang Starr legacy. Happened just a couple of hours ago at Cargo in London, at Jay Electronica’s sold out show (which was the best hip-hop show I’ve seen since KRS-One).
For shame Solar, they will not let you get away with this one dude…
UPDATE – Sorry not MC Solar, the French rapper, but rather the guy that Guru referred to as ‘Super Producer Solar’ of 7 Grand Records. I have the original MC Solar CD in my car – dude remains front of mind as one of the greatest European rappers ever.

Jay Sean Cash Money Album Launch London
Nov 30th
Last Friday night, Vik and I were invited to witness Jay Sean and Birdman blow most new artists whole album budget on one party. London hasn’t seen anything like this for a long time. Guests included Birdman and Slim of Cash Money, Rihanna, Ice-T, Alesha Dixon, Manny Norte, Reggie Yates (with Jay-Z wardrobe in tow), Craig David and many more.
Very big event for the UK music industry, indie artists, and for south Asian artists. This guy is in unchartered territory and scouring the landscape very well. Jay Sean’s album ‘All or Nothing’ is out now. Purchase links are at www.JaySean.com. Props to Kodak for the Zi8 cameras we used.

Michael Jackson's Tour Dancer Auditions on Lovesoul.TV
May 19th
Cool little mini documentary of the journey for dancers making their way to the final cut for Michael Jackson’s upcoming 50 date ‘This Is It’ tour in the UK. It’s a little bit ‘American’ (sappy, over-emotional, Apprentice like editing), but you can see these guys are really doing their best to put together a big show for a global audience.
